Stolen-cash Suspect Faces New Charges

West Palm Beach — Christopher Lacroix, a self-employed cabinetmaker who pleaded guilty to hiding more than $3 million left by a man who died in his house on Christmas Day, is back in jail.

Lacroix, 36, admitted to taking the money that his roommate, Michael Schwartz, had stolen from ATMs in New York and New Jersey. Lacroix pleaded guilty to receiving, possessing and storing stolen property and was on house arrest awaiting sentencing.

Lacroix was booked July 22 into Palm Beach County Jail on domestic violence charges. Jail officials said he is being held at the request of the U.S. Marshals Service.
